Becoming a Parent: The Emotional Journey Through Pregnancy and Childbirth

Like the other volumes in the Family Matters series, this
authoritative new book provides expert advice to ordinary people
struggling with everyday challenges-in this case, the emotional
trials of new mothers. Enduring the stresses of pregnancy and
giving birth are only half of what it takes to become a parent. The
other half involves adjusting emotionally to the reality of a
newborn. With tips on getting outside help and "discussion points"
useful in self-therapy, Becoming a Parent offers real-life
solutions, based on actual cases, to every sort of difficulty new
parents might expect.
